INTERMEDIATE-TERM: BUILDING A TOP
Maintain the “building a top” forecast. For details please see 11/27/2009 Market Recap.
2.8.0 SPX:CPCE, trend line broken, the market could be topped as long as the trend line holds tomorrow. Just this chart didn’t work well for predicting an intermediate-term top recently, OK for short-term top though.
SHORT-TERM: COULD BE MORE REBOUND AHEAD
No solid evidences, just bulls have more charts backing them up, so could be more rebound ahead.
Two reversal bars in a row formed on lots of indices’ daily chart, so the chances are good that the market has reached a short-term bottom. 1.3.0 Russell 2000 iShares (IWM Daily), the reversal bars are more clear on this chart, besides the volume looks promising too.
0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signals, today’s low could be seen as a 10 day cycle low, so there’s a good chance that the next 10 trading day could be an up cycle.
1.0.9 SPX Cycle Watch (60 min), looks like a cycle low too.
INTERESTING CHARTS:
I saw lots of people mentioning this, so thought you might want to know: Full moon was the bottom recently (chart below is from www.astrocycle.net). And 12/2 will be the next full moon. Personally, I think full moon or new moon simply means a potential trend change, so if the market rebounds to 12/2, then probably 12/2 is a top.
This chart is “bear” friendly, if it repeats what happened in the last 3 weeks: up huge on Monday then pullback the rest of the week. We'll see.
